PEARS 
Until recently the growing of Pears in the 
Northwest has been considered impractical, but 
we can now safely recommend the following 
varieties as being hardy. Our trees are budded 
on Pyrus ussuriensis, a hardy Pear seedling that 
stands this climate. 
Pears may be planted on any good soil suitable 
for apple growing. Pruning and spraying is 
similar to that required for apples. Why not have 
a few hardy pears with your other orchard trees.
